Hanuman ji guards the doors of Sri Ram and Lord Buddha

The Hindus believe that Lord Buddha is a manifestation of Sri Vishnu. In turn, the Shoonya Puraan of the Buddhists says that Hanuman ji is not only a minister in Lord Buddha’s cabinet but also his gatekeeper. Hanuman ji is indeed the doorman and ambassador of Sri Ram, who, too, is Lord Vishnu incarnate. Therefore, both traditions agree.
